I have been using this on guitar cabs and as a room mic for drums. I have been able to capture the growly rhythm tones better than ever before. I pair it with either a 57 or SM7, and it's so warm and ... read more [+]present.

I wrote a review on this mic in August 2012, anwas blown away by how good it sounded on my guitar cabs and my Martin acoustic.

I have a Mojave MA200 that I love on my voice and call me crazy, but I was looking for a diiferent kinda "flavor" for this song. I put the 101 on the stand sung acouple of lines and was stunned with how good it sounded. I ran it into a Cloudlifter CL2 and then to the mic input on a Harmony G-XT. I am impressed. As good as my MA200 ? Not so much a question of good or better, just different. Most important ? Gave me that "flavor" I was looking for close [-]

by B! from Tucson, Az
Unfortunately, I can ONLY give this mic 5 stars - as it is truly a 10! Not only is it built like a tank but it makes my Mesa Boogie and Marshall’s SOUND like they are meant to sound. Look, it’s sim... read more [+]ple – if you are on the fence, fall - no jump!! off and do it. If you think that $800 is too much and that you can get your sound with a $99 SM57 – I hear you, used 57 for years. But this truly is unlike anything you’ve ever heard – except on major label releases. I still use my 57, for live and blend off-axis sound with straight on Royer 101 sound. Just do it – do the 3 easy payment option, whatever it takes. You won’t regret your decision, and IF you do, you can return it – but you won’t you’ll get more! close [-]

by Michael Kinser from Portland, Indiana
I have wanted this mic since it first came out. Saved my pennies and finally got one. I own a Mojave MA200 and love it, this mic is from the Royer side of the family. The R101 and the Shure SM57 were,... read more [+] in my opinion, made for each other. The 57 is the classic sound we all know and love and the R101 is the icing on the sonic cake. I put the R101 and the 57 on the 15" speaker in my Fender Excelsior amp..... lovely ! The 57 captured the high and mids, the R101 did the same and added a little bottom to the mix. I heard the stereo mix in the cans and was blown away. I could live very easy with just the R101, but the old workhorse 57 made the sound even better. Next I put them both on a 1965 Bassman 2x12 cab with the original Brown label Jensen speakers. Same results, amazing. Then put them both on my 1972 SF Deluxe Reverb, it has a 12" JBL MI speaker in it, again sweet sounds. Lastly, I sat the R101 up on my 1955 Martin D-28, OMG ! I could not believe how good that mic reproduced the sound of that old guitar. It didn't have the high end sparkle of my Miktek C-5, but it did capture how the guitar sounds to me when sitting in the studio playing it.I Could see using the R101 and the C-5 and the MA200 to get a nice layered rythmn bed of acoustic guitar. IMHO Royer hit it outta the park with this mic. If you own a SM57, the R101 is, IMO, it's perfect matr. close [-]

Charlie DavisMy band used the Royer R-101 for a session this weekend on guitar amps and it worked excellent. For my trebly Vox tone, the R-101 helped tame the top end, while accentuating the midrange and lows perfectly. For the price, every studio should have at least one. Also popular
